to the
rock and sand, then mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes before
adding the cement and water. The total concrete mass
should be blended using standard practices.
NOTE: It is important to obtain a homogeneous mixture
of PENETRON ADMIX
may
develop higher ultimate strengths than plain concrete. Trial
mixes should be carried out under project conditions to
determine setting time and strength of the concrete.
Concrete treated with PENETRON ADMIX
should be
placed and nished in accordance with good concrete prac-
tices. ACI guidelines and recommendations should be
observed.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
When incorporating PENETRON ADMIX
, the tempera-
ture of the concrete mix should be above 40F (4C).
PACKAGING
PENETRON ADMIX
(integral crystalline waterproong admix) is added to the concrete mix at the time of batch-
ing. PENETRON ADMIX
consists of Portland cement, very ne treated silica sand and various active, proprietary
chemicals. These active chemicals react with the moisture in fresh concrete with the by-products of cement hydra-
tion to cause a catalytic reaction, which generates a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and
capillary tracts of the concrete. Thus the concrete becomes permanently sealed against the penetration of water or
liquids from any direction. The concrete is also protected from deterioration due to harsh environmental conditions.
PENETRON ADMIX
has been specially formulated to meet varying project and temperature conditions (see
SETTING TIME AND STRENGTH). Consult with a PENETRON Technical Representative for additional detailed
support on your project.
RECOMMENDED FOR
ADVANTAGES
Resists extreme hydrostatic pressure from either positive or negative surface of the concrete slab
Becomes an integral part of the concrete
Highly resistant to aggressive chemicals
Can seal hairline cracks up to 1/64 (0.4 mm)
Allows concrete to breathe
Non-toxic (NSF 61 certied for potable water applications)
Less expensive than traditional methods
Permanent
Added to the concrete at time of batching and therefore is not subject to climatic restraints
Reduces construction scheduling time
Improves durability of concrete
Permeability Reducing Admixture for Hydrostatic conditions (PRAH)
Zero VOC PENETRON powdered products contain zero volatile organic compounds and are safe for
use both outdoors and in confined indoor spaces.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Dosage Rate: 0.8-1.0% by weight of cement. Consult with PENETRONs Technical Department for assistance in
verifying the appropriate dosage rate and for further information regarding enhanced chemical resistance and
optimum concrete performance for your project.
